okay, I am thoroughly confused. thanks to a very helpful friend of mine, I found a version of Eudora and got it downloaded. The problem is, you would think that it would either be a .zip file, or even better yet, a .dmg Image, but that does not appear to be the case. The file that it downloaded is in the extension of .hqx. according to ask.com, which is where I was directed when I used Google, it appears to be some sort of binary hex file, which makes absolutely no sense. okay, I understand that an application is going to be a binary compiled file, don't mistake when I'm saying. I understand that, yeah, I get it. The question right now is how on earth do I open this thing. does OS X have anything by default that will do that? The only thing that I am seen when I do my Internet research is that you have to open it with an a bin hex editor.
before you ask, will G Chris, wouldn't be obvious thing B2 hit command oh on the file and try opening it, don't give me that rude attitude! Because frankly, I really don't want to hear it. normally, I would have thought that to be the obvious thing to do, yes, The only reason that I have not tried this, is because according to my Internet research, it does not appear that that is going to work. at least not to actually install the application. Yes, I may get access to the binary source code, or maybe some compiled garbage, I frankly don't know what it would do if anything⦠and that is why I am writing to see if any of you more experienced Macintosh users may have some idea. folks, remember, though I am a very experienced user of computers, this does not mean that I am a computer god Who knows everything under the sun. I will be the first to confess to you, I don't. I know a lot, yes, but I am not perfect by any stretch. I am just as fallible is anyone. I joined this list for a reason, and that reason was certainly not to get snide remarks such as, "G Chris, have you never heard of something called Google?" I am not even going to say no offense, you take offense if you choose. Frankly, the person who wrote me saying that: that was completely! Uncalled for! I am asking for help with this, and I trust, that just as you would help any other person on this list, that you will help me as well. I would much rather you just simply ignore my email and not reply at all, then to give me a smart but common. okay, rant over. You guys take care. Thank you again for your help. Chris.
